Final Exhibition Preparation – Part 1
Monday, July 12th, 2010The MA Graphic Design exhibition is in the old part of Camberwell College this year. The building is great, but it isn’t in ideal condition for an exhibition. We had just over a week to work on it so it’s going to look a lot better in the end. Here are some before images:
MA Visual Arts Final Show – Part 2
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010The press release for the final show:
At the heart of the research and investigations of this years Graphic Design MA at Camberwell is the issue of identity. Through a broad range of media, students are examining identity in relation to culture, modernity, belief systems, and state.
MA Visual Arts Final Show – Part 1
Tuesday, May 18th, 2010The wheels are beginning to turn as preparation for the final show begins. Last week I made some preparatory work to propose for the identity and communication and helped write the press release. My idea received fairly strong reactions both for and against. I suppose that would probably make it fairly effective. Then again I can understand why people wouldn’t like it as well. I combined the ‘A’ of ‘Visual Arts’ with an eye – then added some more eyes – all in all making a connection with the artist as a kind of mystic seer, and with the art world as a secret society …
Colour Value
Sunday, January 31st, 2010For the ‘Egshell Clangwave Oscillator…’, synesthesia themed exhibition, I made a set of screenprints and a film about colour, and its meaning. Here is the accompanying text:
“In the age of plastic goods and digital surfaces, colour is ubiquitous, bright, and seemingly interchangeable, but to a synesthete, sounds, letters and numbers may have specific colours which they cannot be separated from. Although colour seems to be a free value for general use, that may be selected according to taste, colour is not so simple. To see, or even here the name of, a colour, triggers strong associations, and they are used in many sayings and common metaphors. Altering the combinations of colours and their uses produces uncanny effects, and perhaps in some cases, this process reveals underlying ideology.”
Synesthesia Concept
Sunday, January 17th, 2010The official introduction to the show, which I co-wrote with Zuleika Testone:
The neurological condition, synesthesia, challenges conventional views about perception. Those who experience it are able to perceive a richer version of reality, in which certain senses trigger further, otherwise separate, senses. The name synesthesia literally means ‘joined sensation’, or ’sensation together’, as different senses combine, this seemingly irrational coupling will shape the ‘Eggshell Clangwave Oscillator System Looking Quiet’ exhibition.
Eggshell Clangwave Oscillator Graphic System Looking Quiet
Friday, December 11th, 2009Synesthesia is a neurological condition in which additional senses apply to other types of sensory perception. For example, in grapheme synesthesia, letters or numbers are perceived as inherently coloured. The word Synesthesia comes from the greek words for ’sensation’ and ‘together’. In this case the group that will be together is MA Graphics at Camberwell, and the sensation will be that provided by our second exhibition.
In order to name the show, a group of us got together in that hotbed of creativity, Funky Munky, and put a simple system into practice using a combination of chance and choice, to generate the title.
